With Sally Fields

I EVERYBODY. Here am I
back home—all in one piece,
too. What a time I've had .. Tra-
vel? And how! By train to St.
Louis, by car to New York and
what a ride that
was thru the
new Penn. Turn.

highway! No
more climbing
those high

crossroads, tun-
nels provide a
safer and easier
route.

And how beau-
tiful the countryside is at this
time of the year, all a—rage with
riotous autumnal colors. I made
the trip with George Olson and
the boys who appeared at the
Chase Hotel in St. Louis and are
now at the New Yorker in the
big city.

UNCLE SAM SURE sorta messed
me up on that Shever-Girard wed-
ding report. Seems like even air-
Mall special doesn't assure one of
beating deadlines. Anyhow, it ar-
rived too late and so our lovely
gal Friday, Dot Rosen, came to
my rescue and did that fine job in
the Oct. 25 issue.
Knowing how anxiously so ma-
ny people are waiting to hear
all about the affair of the sea-
son and deciding that 'Us better
late than not at all, here it is
as I sent it from—
St. Louis, Mo. Oct 20, 1946. . .
And the bride wore white! And
what a gorgeous bride ("a zay vie
zie hert nit a zay zol ihr nit shot-
ten"). The strains of Mendelsohn's
wedding march were softly played
as the bridal party walked up the
candelebra—lit aisle to the altar,
which represented a Southern gar-
den arbor (you see, the bride mar-
ried a Southern boy).
Adorned in a mignificently sim-
ple gown of white satin and tulle,
trimmed in baby seed pearls with
a six-yard train and enhanced with
a real baby-pearl necklace (the
latter a gift of her two aunts,
Mrs. Mack McKenna and Anna
Rose—of theatrical fame of the
early 1930's), little Phyllis Shover,
Central Hi Grad and U. of M. stu-
dent, only daughter of the Nat
Shevers, former Detroiters, was a
vision of pulchritude.
And when the celebrated author-
rabbi, Julius Gordon, said, "I now
pronounce you man and wife" he
completed one of the most im-
pressive and most eloquently
"homey" marital ceremonies I over
witnessed.
•
THE DECORATIONS and set-
tings were carried out in true
Southern style from the bouffant
dresses of the bridesmaids to the
"fullen handt" hospitality . . . The

H

floral decorations of huge white
mums and baby white astors, too,
were carried out in the same dig-
nified simple note that marked
the excellent good taste of the en-
tire affair.
The Coronada Hotel in St.
Louis will echo with the Girard-
Shever wedding for many a day.
Not since the good-old Civil War
days have the rafters rung with
such gayety and music nor have
the mirrors reflected a lovelier
bride or a handsomer groom.
Al Tucker's band (which was
heard several years ago at the
Detroit Athletic Club) provided the
excellent music which even in-
cluded "sherelech" in its repertoire.
Herbert Alexander Girard, son
of Mrs. Sadye Girard of Gastonia,
N. C., was the groom. May "that
look" in his . eyes as he watched
Phyllis walk up the aisle, always
remain on his handsome face. "Iz
dos a chasin—un iz does a mish-
poche, auf alle Yiddishe kinder,
gezogivoren"—southern accent and
all.
The highlight of the ceremony
was the surprise performance
(tlso' I predicted It a couple of
weeks ago, remember?) of Em-
ma Lazaroff Shaver, Detroit's
own noted operatic star and
aunt of the bride, who flew in
from Paris just for the cere-
mony. Her rendition of "Be-
cause" gave that final pull on
the heart strings.
Incidentally, Mrs. Shaver (wife
of Morris Shaver) has been spend-
ing some time entertaining and
providing that moral uplift to our
people in the Displaced Persons
camps thruout Europe.
The guests who attended came
from far and wide—New York,
Chicago, Baltimore, Florida, the
Carolinas, west coast and over 200
strong from Detroit.
•
AMONG THE Detroiters were
the old Amitian group (school gal
chums of the bride's parents). They
included the ex-senator, Sidney
Gray, and his charming wife Sa-
dye, the Dave Garfields, the Jack
Goiters, the Barney Barnetts, the
M a x Kirschbaums and pretty
daughter Ruth; Mrs. Harvey Rob-
inson and lovely daughter Barba-
ra; Mrs. Henry Caplan, Mrs. Her-
bert Siegel, and of course I'm an
old "Amit" myself (fact of the

I'm told that the Louis Mar-
shall Women's Hard time party
the other nite was really SOME
affair . . . Costumes were most
unique, first prize going to Mrs.
Sol Rosenman who as the "Queen
of the Bawth" really wore a de-
scriptive and most unusual cost-
ume from the tooth brush neck-
lace to the towel and wash cloth
bedeckings . . .

IT'S A TERRIFIC show this
week at the Bowery, with Alan
Carney leading the parade . . . As
always Frank
Barbaro brings
to this most po-
pular of De-
troit's nite spots
the sort of a
huge production
that continues
to attract not
only Detroiters
but every "visit-
n g delegate"
that hits the
town. Frank himself, is quite fa-
mous from coast to coast as the
most genial host. One need only
to mention Detroit in any town
and for those in the know it's
synonymous with Frank Barbaro
and the Bowery . . . It's Harpo
Marx for the headline next week.

SHERMAN MENDELSOHN
(Wayne University) was among
the Detroiters in the bridal party
and 'twas Phyllis Kline of Balti-
more, the bride's schoolmate at
U. of M. who was maid of honor
with Mrs. Marshall Rauch, the
groom's sister, as the young and
"veddy, veddy", chahming matron
of honor.
Little tow-headed Steven Girard
was the ring bearer. He was sup-
ported by his cousin, the very
petite Barbara Ross (a typical bit
of southern femininity, If there
ever was such).

AND NOW, MY pretties, may I
extend my little wishes to the
handsomest pair of newlyweds of
the season. May they ever be as
radiant and happy as at the mo-
ment when they danced alone in
the center of the floor in the first
dance of the evening. May they
be ever as oblivious of cares as
they were so apparently aware of
their love for each other . .
So breath-takingly beautiful was
Phyllis, 'so tall and handsome was
Herbert, so perfect the setting, so
simple and impressive the cere-
mony, that 'twas like a page out
of a story book.
One couldn't help but feel that
here was the "perfect hour" the
poets write about.
•
I MUSTN'T FORGET to tell
you about the very personable
young chap, Melvin Weinberg, who
danced attendance upon our love-
ly Barbara Robinson ... Who was
the tall curly headed Southern
Romeo who romanced Florence
Black all evening and that cute
little fellow who "eyed" little
Ruthie Kirschbaum? Could be some
more Southern-Detroit mergers.
